(I've moved this question from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41904201/
as per suggestions there.)

In C++, we currently have to template function and variable definitions
individually:

template <typename T> void foo() { /* ... */ }
template <typename T> void bar() { /* ... */ }
template <typename T> std::vector<T> baz;

well, I would expect the template keyword to be able to apply to braced
scopse, similarly to namespaces, so that I could write:

template <typename T> {
void foo() { /* ... */ }
void bar() { /* ... */ }
std::vector<T> baz;
}

or at least

template <typename T> {
void foo<T>() { /* ... */ }
void bar<T>() { /* ... */ }
std::vector<T> baz;
}

I'm pretty sure somebody has already proposed this - am I right? If so, can
someone give me a link to the discussion and/or the decision? GIve a brief
explanation of why this was rejected?

It seems to me (correct me if I'm wrong) that this should not interfere
with existing syntax not make the compiler have to work harder.
